This study analyses the water quality of five shallow wells (WW1-WW5) in Half-London Ward, Tunduma Town, Tanzania, using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify the primary factors influencing groundwater contamination. Monthly samples were collected over 12 months and analysed for physical, chemical, and biological parameters. The PCA revealed between four and six principal components (PCs) for each well, explaining between 84.61% and 92.55% of the total variance in water quality data. In WW1, five PCs captured 87.53% of the variability, with PC1 (33.05%) dominated by pH, EC, TDS, and microbial contamination, suggesting significant influences from surface runoff and pit latrines. In WW2, six PCs explained 92.55% of the variance, with PC1 (36.17%) highlighting the effects of salinity, TDS, and agricultural runoff. WW3 had four PCs explaining 84.61% of the variance, with PC1 (39.63%) showing high contributions from pH, hardness, and salinity, indicating geological influences and contamination from human activities. Similarly, in WW4, six PCs explained 90.83% of the variance, where PC1 (43.53%) revealed contamination from pit latrines and fertilizers. WW5 also had six PCs, accounting for 92.51% of the variance, with PC1 (42.73%) indicating significant contamination from agricultural runoff and pit latrines. The study concludes that groundwater quality in Half-London Ward is primarily affected by a combination of surface runoff, pit latrine contamination, agricultural inputs, and geological factors. The presence of microbial contaminants and elevated nitrate and phosphate levels underscores the need for improved sanitation and sustainable agricultural practices. Recommendations include strengthening sanitation infrastructure, promoting responsible farming techniques, and implementing regular groundwater monitoring to safeguard water resources and public health in the region.展开更多

AISI 316L stainless steel sheets were used to develop double wall angle pyramid with aid of tungsten carbide tool. GRA coupled with PCA was used to plan the experiment conditions. Control factors such as Tool Diameter(TD), Step Depth(SD), Bottom Wall Angle(BWA), Feed Rate(FR) and Spindle Speed(SS) on Top Wall Angle(TWA) and Top Wall Angle Surface Roughness(TWASR) have been studied. Wall angle increases with increasing tool diameter due to large contact area between tool and workpiece. As the step depth, feed rate and spindle speed increase,TWASR decreases with increasing tool diameter. As the step depth increasing, the hydrostatic stress is raised causing severe cracks in the deformed surface. Hence it was concluded that the proposed hybrid method was suitable for optimizing the factors and response.展开更多

The dataset was reduced using PCA, which identified height, reach, and age as key features contributing to variance. However, while PCA effectively reduced dimensionality, it faced challenges in clearly distinguishing between the two ethnic groups, a limitation noted in previous research. In contrast, the decision tree model performed significantly better, establishing clear decision boundaries and achieving high classification accuracy. The decision tree consistently selected Height and Reach as the most important classifiers, a finding supported by existing studies on ethnic differences in Northeast India. The results highlight the strengths of combining PCA for dimensionality reduction with decision tree models for classification tasks. While PCA alone was insufficient for optimal class separation, its integration with decision trees improved both the model’s accuracy and interpretability. Future research could explore other machine learning models to enhance classification and examine a broader set of anthropometric features for more comprehensive ethnic group classification.展开更多

Robust Principal Component Anal...Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a widely used technique for data analysis and dimensionality reduction, but its sensitivity to feature scale and outliers limits its applicability. Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) addresses these limitations by decomposing data into a low-rank matrix capturing the underlying structure and a sparse matrix identifying outliers, enhancing robustness against noise and outliers. This paper introduces a novel RPCA variant, Robust PCA Integrating Sparse and Low-rank Priors (RPCA-SL). Each prior targets a specific aspect of the data’s underlying structure and their combination allows for a more nuanced and accurate separation of the main data components from outliers and noise. Then RPCA-SL is solved by employing a proximal gradient algorithm for improved anomaly detection and data decomposition. Experimental results on simulation and real data demonstrate significant advancements.展开更多

First, the data is mapped into a higher-dimensional space with kernel principal component analysis to make the data linearly separable. Then a two-layer KPCANet is built to obtain the principal components of the image. Finally, the principal components are classified with a linear classifier. Experimental results showthat the proposed KPCANet is effective in face recognition, object recognition and handwritten digit recognition. It also outperforms principal component analysis network（ PCANet） generally. Besides, KPCANet is invariant to illumination and stable to occlusion and slight deformation.展开更多

[Method] With 5 good fresh waxy corn varieties as experimental materials, correlation analysis and principal component anatysis were performed on 13 agronomic traits, i.e., plant height, ear position, ear weight, ear diameter, axis diameter, ear length, bald tip length, ear row number, number of grains per row, 100-kernel weight, fresh ear yield, tassel length, and tassel branch number. [Result] The principal component analysis performed to the 13 agronomic traits showed that the first three principal components, i.e., the fresh ear yield factors, the tassel factors and the bald top factors, had an accumulative contribution rate over 87.2767%, and could basically represent the genetic information represented by the 13 traits. The first principal component is the main index for the selection and evaluation of good corn varieties which should have large ear, large ear diameter but small axis diameter, i.e., longer grains, larger number of grains per ear, higher, 100-grain weight and higher plant height. As to the second principal component, the plants of fresh corn varieties are best to have longer tassel and not too many branches, and under the premise of ensuring enough pollen for the female spike, the varieties with fewer tassel branches shoud be selected as far as possible. From the point of the third principal component, bald tip length affects the marketing quality of fresh corn, and during fariety evaluation and breeding, the bald top length should be control at the Iowest standard. [Conclusion] The fresh ear yield of corn is in close positive correlation with ear weight, 100-grain weight, ear diameter, number of grains per row and ear length, and plant height also affects fresh ear yield.展开更多

[Method] Anti-breaking models of the main veins of flue-cured tobacco leaves were constructed for principal component analysis on the anti-breaking index, leaf traits and cellulose contents. [Result] The results showed that the growth traits had certain relevance with the cellulose contents while the leaf weight assumed a significant negative correlation with the anti-breaking index, indicating that the heavier the leaf weight was, the weaker the anti-breaking capacity of flue-cured tobacco would be; the cross-sectional area of main veins and the cellulose contents had shown a positive correlation with the anti-breaking index, indicating that the thicker the main vein of flue-cured tobacco was, the higher the cellulose contents would be, and the stronger the anti-breaking capacity of flue-cured tobacco leaves would be. [Conclusion] This study provided theoretical basis and reference to improve tobacco production and enhance the quality of flue-cured tobacco.展开更多

The method is based on the idea of reducing the influence of the eigenvectors associated with the large eigenvalues by normalizing the feature vector element by its corresponding standard deviation. The Yale face database and Yale face database B are used to verify the method. The simulation results show that, for front face and even under the condition of limited variation in the facial poses, the proposed method results in better performance than the conventional PCA and linear discriminant analysis （LDA） approaches, and the computational cost remains the same as that of the PCA, and much less than that of the LDA.展开更多

First, the reason behind the negative data is analyzed and a nonnegative constraint is imposed on the classic PCA. Then a set of nonnegative linear independence weight vectors of principal components is obtained, by which a lowdimensional space is constructed. Finally, a nonlinear optimization technique is used to determine the projection vectors of the high-dimensional multi-spectral data in the constructed space. Experimental results show that the proposed method can keep the reconstructed spectral data in [ 0, 1 ]. The precision of the space created by the proposed method is equivalent to or even higher than that by the PCA.展开更多

In this article, structured residual with strong isolation property is introduced. Although it is easy to get the residual by transformation matrix in static process, unfortunately, it becomes hard in dynamic process under control loop. Therefore, partial dynamic PCA（PDPCA） is proposed to obtain structured residual and enhance the isolation ability of dynamic process monitoring, and a compound statistic is introduced to resolve the problem resulting from independent variables in every variable subset. Simulations on continuous stirred tank reactor （CSTR） show the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

However, like PCA, MatPCA does not use the class information of samples. As a result, the extracted features cannot provide enough useful information for distinguishing pat- tern from one another, and further resulting in degradation of classification performance. To fullly use class in- formation of samples, a novel method, called the fuzzy within-class MatPCA （F-WMatPCA）is proposed. F-WMatPCA utilizes the fuzzy K-nearest neighbor method（FKNN） to fuzzify the class membership degrees of a training sample and then performs fuzzy MatPCA within these patterns having the same class label. Due to more class information is used in feature extraction, F-WMatPCA can intuitively improve the classification perfor- mance. Experimental results in face databases and some benchmark datasets show that F-WMatPCA is effective and competitive than MatPCA. The experimental analysis on face image databases indicates that F-WMatPCA im- proves the recognition accuracy and is more stable and robust in performing classification than the existing method of fuzzy-based F-Fisherfaces.展开更多

[Method] The root traits of 10 sweetpotato cultivars were measured through hydroponic culture in a greenhouse and field survey, and then their correlations were analyzed by statistical methods. [Result] The root morphological traits of sweetpotato at seedling stage such as projected area, surface area, average diameter and volume processed the highest contribution rate （80.56%） 10 d after transplanting, and the contribution rate of root average diameter reached 27.79% 20 d after transplanting. Storage root fresh weight per plant shared extremely significant positive correlations with storage root fresh weight of penultimate node and storage root fresh weight of antepenultimate node, and a significant positive corre- lation with commercial storage root number, and a significant negative correlation with storage root number of penultimate node. Among them, the correlation coeffi- cient of storage root fresh weight per plant with storage root fresh weight of antepenultimate node was the highest （0.659 5）. Fifteen days after transplanting, storage root fresh weight per plant had significant negative correlations with root projected area, surface area and volume. There was a significant positive correlation between root dry weight and storage root fresh weight per plant 25 d after transplanting. Root dry weight, volume, length, average diameter of sweetpotato seedlings had higher relational degrees with storage root fresh weight per plant. Ten and twenty days after transplanting were important time for the growth and differentiation of sweetpotato roots. In addition, node length and planting depth had certain influence on sweetpotato yield, and direct relationship existed between the seedling root biological traits and storage root yield of sweetpotato. [Conclusion] The results provide theoretical support for standard cultivation and new variety breeding of sweetpotato.展开更多
文摘Groundwater is a crucial water source for urban areas in Africa, particularly where surface water is insufficient to meet demand. This study analyses the water quality of five shallow wells (WW1-WW5) in Half-London Ward, Tunduma Town, Tanzania, using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify the primary factors influencing groundwater contamination.

The results highlight the strengths of combining PCA for dimensionality reduction with decision tree models for classification tasks. While PCA alone was insufficient for optimal class separation, its integration with decision trees improved both the model’s accuracy and interpretability. Future research could explore other machine learning models to enhance classification and examine a broader set of anthropometric features for more comprehensive ethnic group classification.
文摘Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a widely used technique for data analysis and dimensionality reduction, but its sensitivity to feature scale and outliers limits its applicability. Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) addresses these limitations by decomposing data into a low-rank matrix capturing the underlying structure and a sparse matrix identifying outliers, enhancing robustness against noise and outliers. This paper introduces a novel RPCA variant, Robust PCA Integrating Sparse and Low-rank Priors (RPCA-SL). Each prior targets a specific aspect of the data’s underlying structure and their combination allows for a more nuanced and accurate separation of the main data components from outliers and noise. Then RPCA-SL is solved by employing a proximal gradient algorithm for improved anomaly detection and data decomposition. Experimental results on simulation and real data demonstrate significant advancements.
文摘The Internet of things(IoT)is a wireless network designed to perform specific tasks and plays a crucial role in various fields such as environmental monitoring,surveillance,and healthcare.To address the limitations imposed by inadequate resources,energy,and network scalability,this type of network relies heavily on data aggregation and clustering algorithms.Although various conventional studies have aimed to enhance the lifespan of a network through robust systems,they do not always provide optimal efficiency for real-time applications.This paper presents an approach based on state-of-the-art machine-learning methods.In this study,we employed a novel approach that combines an extended version of principal component analysis(PCA)and a reinforcement learning algorithm to achieve efficient clustering and data reduction.The primary objectives of this study are to enhance the service life of a network,reduce energy usage,and improve data aggregation efficiency.We evaluated the proposed methodology using data collected from sensors deployed in agricultural fields for crop monitoring.Our proposed approach(PQL)was compared to previous studies that utilized adaptive Q-learning(AQL)and regional energy-aware clustering(REAC).Our study outperformed in terms of both network longevity and energy consumption and established a fault-tolerant network.

文摘In order to classify nonlinear features with a linear classifier and improve the classification accuracy, a deep learning network named kernel principal component analysis network（ KPCANet） is proposed. First, the data is mapped into a higher-dimensional space with kernel principal component analysis to make the data linearly separable. Then a two-layer KPCANet is built to obtain the principal components of the image. Finally, the principal components are classified with a linear classifier. Experimental results showthat the proposed KPCANet is effective in face recognition, object recognition and handwritten digit recognition. It also outperforms principal component analysis network（ PCANet） generally. Besides, KPCANet is invariant to illumination and stable to occlusion and slight deformation.
文摘[Objective] This study was conducted to provide certain theoretical reference for the comprehensive evaluation and breeding of new fresh waxy corn vari- eties. [Method] With 5 good fresh waxy corn varieties as experimental materials, correlation analysis and principal component anatysis were performed on 13 agronomic traits, i.e., plant height, ear position, ear weight, ear diameter, axis diameter, ear length, bald tip length, ear row number, number of grains per row, 100-kernel weight, fresh ear yield, tassel length, and tassel branch number. [Result] The principal component analysis performed to the 13 agronomic traits showed that the first three principal components, i.e., the fresh ear yield factors, the tassel factors and the bald top factors, had an accumulative contribution rate over 87.2767%, and could basically represent the genetic information represented by the 13 traits. The first principal component is the main index for the selection and evaluation of good corn varieties which should have large ear, large ear diameter but small axis diameter, i.e., longer grains, larger number of grains per ear, higher, 100-grain weight and higher plant height. As to the second principal component, the plants of fresh corn varieties are best to have longer tassel and not too many branches, and under the premise of ensuring enough pollen for the female spike, the varieties with fewer tassel branches shoud be selected as far as possible. From the point of the third principal component, bald tip length affects the marketing quality of fresh corn, and during fariety evaluation and breeding, the bald top length should be control at the Iowest standard. [Conclusion] The fresh ear yield of corn is in close positive correlation with ear weight, 100-grain weight, ear diameter, number of grains per row and ear length, and plant height also affects fresh ear yield.

文摘[Objective] This study aimed to explore the related mechanisms of the breaking of flue-cured tobacco leaves. [Method] Anti-breaking models of the main veins of flue-cured tobacco leaves were constructed for principal component analysis on the anti-breaking index, leaf traits and cellulose contents. [Result] The results showed that the growth traits had certain relevance with the cellulose contents while the leaf weight assumed a significant negative correlation with the anti-breaking index, indicating that the heavier the leaf weight was, the weaker the anti-breaking capacity of flue-cured tobacco would be; the cross-sectional area of main veins and the cellulose contents had shown a positive correlation with the anti-breaking index, indicating that the thicker the main vein of flue-cured tobacco was, the higher the cellulose contents would be, and the stronger the anti-breaking capacity of flue-cured tobacco leaves would be. [Conclusion] This study provided theoretical basis and reference to improve tobacco production and enhance the quality of flue-cured tobacco.
文摘In principal component analysis （PCA） algorithms for face recognition, to reduce the influence of the eigenvectors which relate to the changes of the illumination on abstract features, a modified PCA （MPCA） algorithm is proposed. The method is based on the idea of reducing the influence of the eigenvectors associated with the large eigenvalues by normalizing the feature vector element by its corresponding standard deviation. The Yale face database and Yale face database B are used to verify the method. The simulation results show that, for front face and even under the condition of limited variation in the facial poses, the proposed method results in better performance than the conventional PCA and linear discriminant analysis （LDA） approaches, and the computational cost remains the same as that of the PCA, and much less than that of the LDA.

文摘In order to overcome the shortcomings that the reconstructed spectral reflectance may be negative when using the classic principal component analysis （PCA）to reduce the dimensions of the multi-spectral data, a nonnegative constrained principal component analysis method is proposed to construct a low-dimensional multi-spectral space and accomplish the conversion between the new constructed space and the multispectral space. First, the reason behind the negative data is analyzed and a nonnegative constraint is imposed on the classic PCA. Then a set of nonnegative linear independence weight vectors of principal components is obtained, by which a lowdimensional space is constructed. Finally, a nonlinear optimization technique is used to determine the projection vectors of the high-dimensional multi-spectral data in the constructed space. Experimental results show that the proposed method can keep the reconstructed spectral data in [ 0, 1 ]. The precision of the space created by the proposed method is equivalent to or even higher than that by the PCA.

文摘Principal component analysis （PCA） is a useful tool in process fault detection, but offers little support on fault isolation. In this article, structured residual with strong isolation property is introduced. Although it is easy to get the residual by transformation matrix in static process, unfortunately, it becomes hard in dynamic process under control loop. Therefore, partial dynamic PCA（PDPCA） is proposed to obtain structured residual and enhance the isolation ability of dynamic process monitoring, and a compound statistic is introduced to resolve the problem resulting from independent variables in every variable subset. Simulations on continuous stirred tank reactor （CSTR） show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘Matrix principal component analysis （MatPCA）, as an effective feature extraction method, can deal with the matrix pattern and the vector pattern. However, like PCA, MatPCA does not use the class information of samples. As a result, the extracted features cannot provide enough useful information for distinguishing pat- tern from one another, and further resulting in degradation of classification performance. To fullly use class in- formation of samples, a novel method, called the fuzzy within-class MatPCA （F-WMatPCA）is proposed. F-WMatPCA utilizes the fuzzy K-nearest neighbor method（FKNN） to fuzzify the class membership degrees of a training sample and then performs fuzzy MatPCA within these patterns having the same class label. Due to more class information is used in feature extraction, F-WMatPCA can intuitively improve the classification perfor- mance. Experimental results in face databases and some benchmark datasets show that F-WMatPCA is effective and competitive than MatPCA. The experimental analysis on face image databases indicates that F-WMatPCA im- proves the recognition accuracy and is more stable and robust in performing classification than the existing method of fuzzy-based F-Fisherfaces.

文摘[Objective] This study was conducted to explore the internal relationship among root biological traits of sweetpotato, as well as the regularity in their formation and differentiation. [Method] The root traits of 10 sweetpotato cultivars were measured through hydroponic culture in a greenhouse and field survey, and then their correlations were analyzed by statistical methods. [Result] The root morphological traits of sweetpotato at seedling stage such as projected area, surface area, average diameter and volume processed the highest contribution rate （80.56%） 10 d after transplanting, and the contribution rate of root average diameter reached 27.79% 20 d after transplanting. Storage root fresh weight per plant shared extremely significant positive correlations with storage root fresh weight of penultimate node and storage root fresh weight of antepenultimate node, and a significant positive corre- lation with commercial storage root number, and a significant negative correlation with storage root number of penultimate node. Among them, the correlation coeffi- cient of storage root fresh weight per plant with storage root fresh weight of antepenultimate node was the highest （0.659 5）. Fifteen days after transplanting, storage root fresh weight per plant had significant negative correlations with root projected area, surface area and volume. There was a significant positive correlation between root dry weight and storage root fresh weight per plant 25 d after transplanting. Root dry weight, volume, length, average diameter of sweetpotato seedlings had higher relational degrees with storage root fresh weight per plant. Ten and twenty days after transplanting were important time for the growth and differentiation of sweetpotato roots. In addition, node length and planting depth had certain influence on sweetpotato yield, and direct relationship existed between the seedling root biological traits and storage root yield of sweetpotato. [Conclusion] The results provide theoretical support for standard cultivation and new variety breeding of sweetpotato.
